Some people categorize engineers as geeks or nerds. Are you a geek, nerd, or neither? Why?

What are geeks and nerds? They're people devoted towards their interests, people with obsessions towards a particular field or in other words, simply plain enthusiasts. Well, if that is the case, then every single person on the face of the earth is a geek or a nerd. Why? Because we all love something and that's nothing to be ashamed of.

Although I consider myself to be a pretty bright student, I always make time for entertainment. I'm a massive movie fan; a true lover of the classics to the point that you'd consider me to be a "geek"; a different kind of geek. I'm the kind of guy who knows the famous conversations between Vincent and Jules in Pulp Fiction or Andy and Red in the Shawshank Redemption by heart. Arnold Schwarzenegger's " I'll be back" line in The Terminator, Marlon Brando's distinctly hoarse voice in The God Father and Kevin Spacey's shyness in The Usual Suspects, despite seeming like relatively unimportant aspects of three outstanding movies, are actually significant parts of what make these movies stand out in front of their audience. But not all people realize that. Movie fanatics like me, however, do.

Suggestions:
The commas in the phrase "They're people devoted towards their interests, people with obsessions towards a particular field or in other words" can be replaced with a dash.

This comma in the phrase "people with obsessions towards a particular field or in other words, simply plain enthusiasts." can be replaced with a semi colon.

The sentence would then look like "They're people devoted towards their interests - people with obsessions towards a particular field or in other words; simply, they are plain enthusiasts."

The semicolons in the phrase "I'm a massive movie fan; a true lover of the classics to the point that you'd consider me to be a "geek"; a different kind of geek." are used incorrectly. Semicolons separate complete sentences where no appropriate conjunction can be found. You may want to revise the sentence to be "I'm a massive movie fan - a true lover of the classics to the point that you'd consider me to be a "geek"; however, I am a different kind of geek."

Additionally, strive to make the essay a little more formal - avoid contractions, starting sentences with words such as "because" and "but".

You may also want to lengthen your essay, it seems a little brief and underdeveloped.

GOOD LUCK! :)

It's supposed to be a short essay. Under 200 words. Thanks for the corrections :)
